I was gonna ask why you diddnt bring them down the bumper then i noticed they are 10inch... right?... hard to get 10 inchers down the front bumper with the bumper pillars taking such a sharp swoop outwards.

Looks pretty good!

Appreciate the feedback! and they're 12" +D so, yea, very very hard to get down the front.

I'm divided between taking them off and keeping them on. I like them, and yet I don't.

I'm frustrating myself...

theyre too wide in my opinion. you need 8" stripes with a 1/4" pinstripe on either side. look at Jack's mustang. prime example. when i went to put mine on, i was a retard and didnt take off the hood scoop...i didnt know how at the time.

i also dont like the fact that you didnt put the stripe on the hood. it would look a lot more smooth if the black were to continue through.

p.s. get a grille delete and some springs!!!! will look 100% better

Looks good to me. Adds a lot of contrast to the white. Good job, IMO

I dont think it looks too bad, a Grill Delete would good to for the black accent for the front. There is a Red Cobra 2001 that has white stripes around here I see in the morning and his go down to the front bumper...

White is one of those colors where its your Picasso Canvas and you dont have to change it up much to make it be noticed.

agreed. unfortunatly those are 12inch stripes, bringing those down the bumper would be damn hard to do and keep them straight cause they have to wrap in around the pillars.

i had 8inch stripes with less of a gap in between and they were still tough to get on and only came up about an inch up the pillars.

I'm thinking I may have it redone with better vinyl. Not only that, but I want it going down the bumpers... Here's where I'm aggravated.. I couldn't get it down the back. I suck. I want it all the way down.


Should I get a roush front bumper? I love the look, but I have no idea as to how much they are.

Here goes ~1000 dollars.

I actually think it looks pretty good. I wished it went all the way down the bumper but still looks good IMO

I think stripes look awesome, but I think you need to get smaller stripes 8'', have them go down the bumper and go over the hood scoop. But I do love the black & white!

It looks pretty good. I like when stripes go down past the hood onto the bumper tho. There is something about that hood scoop that looks funny... but other than that, looks good.

I like it, but add the stripes over the hoodscoop, without them it kind of clashes a little too much. Or if you want just send the hood scoop to me. lol

I was the same way, haha. But I think I'll get a colored car somewhere down the road.

btw, your car's looking a lot better now, it's changed a lot from your sig pic.

vinyl stickers usually have an adhesive backing to them that is activated with soapy water (most of the time). and then all you do is lay them on, get the water/air pockets out and your good to go!
